Remarkable!
Yesterday, I woke up to about 17.5 M users. At this rate, will break 19 M today and 20 M tomorrow.
Make sure to say a prayer of thanks to the BlueSky infrastructure team. They won't be getting much time with family and friends before the end of the year. #bluesky

Timely considering that the Swifties are gathering in Toronto tonight for the first of six sold out shows.
I'm giving myself permission to post this article about Taylor Swift's roots several times as I know it's so random who sees it any given time. Plus, it was a fun ride, but a lot of work went into it! #genealogy

On this Remembrance Day, I think of my great grand uncle James ‘Jimmy’ Gammie who died in France in 1918. His death, at the age of 23, eventually resulted in my great grandfather, Jimmy’s half brother, moving his family from Scotland to Saskatchewan in 1923 at the request of their mother. #genealogy
